A Manual of the Malay language / With an Introductory Sketch of the Sanskrit Element in Malay

by Sir William Edward Maxwell

Above a hundred the numbers proceed with equal regularity:—

100. sa-ratus, one hundred.

200. dua-ratus, two hundred.

300. tiga-ratus, three hundred.

400. ampat-ratus, four hundred.

1000. sa-ribu, one thousand.

2000. dua-ribu, two thousand.

3000. tiga-ribu, three thousand.

4000. ampat-ribu, four thousand.

Any sum, however great, may be expressed by the numerals in juxtaposition without the insertion of a conjunction; as, sa-ribu-dĕlapan-ratus-tujoh-puloh-sambilan, one thousand eight hundred (and) seventy nine, 1879.
